    This is their 2nd year of "tanking" under Getz. Meidroth and Quero are bright spots, so far.
  2. It's exactly like that. Have you seen some of the 1B teams are trotting out there?

    The Sox have made changes to start pumping position player talent into the system, through drafting, international signing, and trades. If a person is complaining that a rebuilding team doesn't have talent for every single position waiting to be called up from AAA, then that applies to all teams. It makes total sense.

    Then Baltimore should be brimming with pitching talent at their AAA level, right? If you are to be believed, the Orioles completely failed by not having every single position covered in their minor league system.

    None of this makes sense. Teams rebuild because they don't have the established pipeline of talent. If the system was brimming over with future stars, they wouldn't have to trade the few remaining good players they have to actually acquire some future stars. They could just fill the holes with top prospects, and continue winning. The director of player development doesn't conduct the draft, and international signings. If they draft and sign bad players, there's nothing to develop. You don't get to complain that Nick Madrigal was a bum who should never have been drafted because he had no talent, but Getz failed by not somehow imbuing him with talent.

    Amaya plays better defense than Trevor Story. A wave of injuries put Palacios and Maton on the pro roster. Vargas does belong on the roster. I'm not sure what your point is. That a rebuilding team should have Shohei Ohtani at AAA to replace Mike Tauchman when he gets injured? LOL.
  7. Fletcher could give you the same .431 OPS that Palacios is. He's actually looking baseball-player-ish in Charlotte now.

    Not picking up Canario was actually a great move. There's nothing to "defend". And Canario sitting at the end of Pittsburgh's bench probably demoralizes the Pirates' players, knowing that a player who doesn't deserve major league playing time is taking the roster spot from a player who does, and that makes them sad and lose more.
  9. Perhaps they should let his mommy in the dugout so she can hug Vasil while a real baseball player goes out and pitches in that situation? You are beyond funny. He's a pro ballplayer. You crazies scream for the White Sox to take on every single rookie off the waiver wire and to throw them into the fire, except for the rookies the White Sox actually take off the waiver wire.

    And I've always called Sheets a lefty bench bat who has value. Thanks for confirming I was right all along. Go tell WS23.
  11. You wanting Trevor Bauer on this team is the weirdest dunk you've ever attempted.

    In theory, there's going to be 15 winning baseball teams every day. You going to try to dunk on everybody because of that?

    And Canario's line is getting worse. Y'all were screaming for Getz to pick up a player worse than anybody on this roster, just so you could scream that Getz made another bad roster decision.

    None of this has anything to do with my comment. Do you have to quote tweet people to get them to read your meanderings?
  15. Well, the next time he's in that situation, he'll have the experience.
  16. Clevenger is the ultimate "DEI" hire. He sucks, and keeps getting signed because of his connections. He's taking the opportunity away from another player who has truly earned his spot.
  17. Dan Hayes has since said on a FutureSox podcast that Keaschul was absolutely not available. Hayes' reporting was that Keaschul's name "was mentioned", not that a done deal was on the table.
  18. It's really a lot longer list if you're comparing Vargas to guys who were absolutely not available to the Sox.
  19. It's the color scheme for the Boston Marathon, and is in homage to the 2013 Marathon at which the bombing happened. So I think Boston fans would be the inverse opposite of insulted.
